In the early hours
of this Sabbath, the IDF carefully removed Ismail Hanea’s office in Gaza from
existence, along with the building in which it was located. Oh
there will be more than rumours of war I thought, when I read this news on the
Internet.
This afternoon my
49-year-old son-in-law--who'd received his final discharge from the IDF when he
was 45--was drafted. True, as a pharmacist, not an infantry grunt, but
nevertheless. Moreover, if they do a lot of that, the practising
pharmacist population of Israel will be mostly Arabs. They do well in pharmacy
school and seem to have little trouble finding work as the ever mushrooming
pharmaceutical chain stores require large numbers of licensed graduates. Some
fine irony there.
Planes still flying
over our small town, which seldom hears one and certainly not on the Sabbath.
Interesting. Where are they going? Fly across Israel
in three minutes, counting buckling the seat belt. From Tel Aviv
one can walk to Gaza, if one is in good shape. Bombing
raids? We’ll find out...
